On Wednesday the Iranian embassy in Prague organized an event at a well-known hotel in the Czech capital. Prior to the event, a senior embassy official was shocked to see an Israeli flag flying high at the head of a line of flags situated near the entrance to the hotel.

The diplomat spoke to the hotel manager and demanded that the Israeli flag be taken down, but the manager, and Arab-Israeli from Nazareth, rejected the request.

"The (Israeli) flag will remain at the front of the hotel always," the manager told the Iranian official. "If you don't like it, you are welcome to hold the event at another hotel."

The angry Iranian diplomat had no choice but to accept the hotel's position, and the event was held as scheduled.

According to the Yedioth Ahronoth daily, Israeli Ambassador to Prague Yaakov Levy reported the incident to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, and said the Pakistani embassy was scheduled to hold a reception at the same hotel next week.

This was not the first time the presence of the Israeli flag resulted in a diplomatic incident. A few years ago former Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki visited Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. Upon his arrival at the local Holiday Inn, Mottaki noticed an Israeli flag flying proudly near the entrance. An infuriated Mottaki asked that the flag be removed, but his request was denied.

Pakistan would not mind an Israeli flag. Put up an Indian flag and then watch the fun.

By the way if the Arab Israeli on a permanent basis flew the flag of Israel then it would be ok. If not and this was just because of the Iranian meet, then it was nothing but an antic to get cheap thrills.

I don't think we hate each other so much. We Indians still have good relations with Pak (though not at Govt level..). look at Sania, she loves Pakistanis.

Can't blame her. She, after all, married a Pakistani.

What about Arundhati Roy and her slogan: Bhookha nanga Hindustan, jaan is piara Pakistan.

If that were the case, Iranians should've definitely walked out.

The flag wasn't put there on purpose to piss of the Iranians. The hotel manager is an Arab Israel that seems to have pride in his country so why would the flag not be there all the time?
Arabs don't have much hate towards the Iranians (except maybe Iraqis but especially not Palestinians - most Arab Israelis see themselves as Palestinians more then Israeli) so there's not much reason why he would just piss Iranians for fun.
And it's not like the story did a good commercial for the hotel, most Europeans dislike Israel.

Let them be pissed, the Iranian government has a field day bashing jews endlessly, and yet somehow having an Israeli flag is 'offensive.'

Hotels around the world, especially reputed hotels have many international flags flying high outside their gates or buildings. So what's the big deal? I don't understand why Iranian mulla government is so stupid for even bothering to get "offended" by this universal practice! This is what a theocratic government can get your country down to....
